⚠️ Eco v0.14 is coming — the next major update reworks upgrade modules, so some of these numbers will change. They reflect the current version. What’s changing →
  • Simpler tiers: the 1–4 tiered upgrades become a single Basic / Advanced / Modern upgrade each.
  • Permanent upgrades: a module placed in a workstation is permanent — no more swapping lower tiers out as you progress.
  • Power transitions: a module can change a station’s power type/draw (e.g. a Modern upgrade moves a sawmill from mechanical to electrical power).
  • Talent-integrated: modules now use the same bonus/talent system — any talent benefit (power, labor cost, recipe unlocks) can come from a module.
  • Cheaper to upgrade: with the multi-tier parts gone, fully upgrading a workstation costs significantly less.

We’ll update this calculator shortly after the update releases.

Notes

The Advanced Combustion Engine is a high-tier craftable part that provides a greater power output than the standard combustion engine, serving as a critical component for advanced mechanized industry and heavy transport. It is used as a key ingredient in constructing heavy-duty vehicles like the Excavator and Skid Steer, the automated Scorpion logging machine, and the Industrial Generator for large-scale electricity production. Because the machinery it powers relies on burning fuel, players should anticipate higher air pollution and CO2 emissions when operating these machines, requiring careful industrial placement to protect the local ecosystem and nearby housing values.
